The Rotary Club of North Bay has distributed a total of $32,000 to 4 school boards and Nbisiing Secondary School, supporting breakfast and nutrition programs at 27 schools.
Near North District School Board received $5,000; Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board $12,000; Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord $7,000; Conseil scolaire public du Nord-Est de l’Ontario $6,000; and Nbisiing $2,000.
Research proves it and renowned organizations, such as the World Food Program, confirm that breakfast and nutritional programs are a significant and impactful way to support children's education and development. These programs may focus on children, but their impact ripples over to families, schools, and entire communities.
“The Rotary Club of North Bay is pleased to provide support for the Breakfast/Nutritional Programs to so many schools here in North Bay and surrounding communities” stated Grace Doiron, club president. Doiron added, “The club will be celebrating 100 years of service in the city on May 17th and much of its focus continues to be on youth initiatives.”
